2 euro Belgium – 100 years of the National Railway Company of Belgium BU

The coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the National Railway Company of Belgium (SNCB/NMBS), founded in 1926. For a century, it has provided transport links between the country’s cities and regions, playing a vital role in the daily lives of millions of passengers.

The topic of railways is of particular importance for Belgium: it was here in 1835 that the first passenger railway line on the European continent was opened.

The coin’s design centers on the number “100,” commemorating the SNCB/NMBS’s anniversary. Inside, it depicts a historic steam locomotive and a modern train, symbolizing the journey of Belgian railways from their origins to the present day.
